Colin Currie Quartet: Steve Reich Celebration

The Colin Currie Quartet was formed in 2018 to present bold and exciting music for percussion quartet, performed with dazzling virtuosity. Comprising Colin Currie, Owen Gunnell, Adrian Spillett, and Sam Walton (also core members of the Colin Currie Group), the Quartet performs a variety of adventurous works, centring on those by Steve Reich and composers inspired by his influential writing.

As some of the world’s leading solo, symphonic and chamber percussionists, each player of the Quartet brings a different and insightful slant to the art of chamber percussion performance to collectively present ‘a sonic display of startling magnificence’ (Observer).
